A little star is woven into the sur
face of the dark navy blue piques. A
white star studs the surface of such
a pique, and a self-colored pique has
the star outlined with a corded edge.
For a child the white star is prefer
able. For girls and women the col
ored star is a good choice. The new
line of piques brought forward for
1901 shows double fold piques, instead
of the old single width. Double
width materials cut to advantage, as
every good needle-woman knows.
Seven Enterprising Women*
The woman with the hoe is with
us. At Roslyn, L. 1., Mrs. I. P. Taber-
Willets is conducting one of the mod
el dairy farms of this country. Mrs.
Virginia C. Meredith of Cambridge,
Ind., was recentily selected for the ex
periment of maintaining an agricul
tural school for girls, on similar lines
to the agricultural colleges for boys.
Mrs. Mary Gould Woodcock of Ripley,
Me., is raising trotting horses. In
Missouri, Miss Minnie Kulick runs a
large poultry farm. Miss Nellie
Hawks is doing the same kind of work
at Friend, Neb. From a wheat farm
of CIO acres in Lucca, N. D., Miss
Mary R. Vance derives an annual
profit of 50 percent. The Duke farm
f near Summerville, N. J., now being
|t laid out in parks and fishing lakes,
and on which 350 men are employed,
is managed by Miss Maggie Smith.
Heportmont In tlio Sick Room.
The duties of the trained nurse, no
matter how nearly to perfection she
has reached in her calling, are light
when compared to the Bervice of the
loving person who is nearest to the
sick one. who must stand ready al
ways to upbear and bring back the
self to its old place. • Love and rea
son must work in perfect harmony in
the awful struggle to conquer the
forces that threaten to capture the
citadel of life. But love should not
be allowed to gain the mastery over
reason, for if love rules alone, the nat
ural anxiety of the watcher is bound
to be expressed, and this will not be
without its evif effect on the condition
of the sick one. At all times must
the person on guard to fight off the
advances of death be in absolute con
trol of herself or himself. She must
| not yield to the fear that may be ly
r lng heavily upon her heart —at any
rate, not before the one she watches.
To conceal the anxiety natural to the
situation is not easy; it requires much
strength of purpose and at times the
exercise of all the skill and tact the
watcher may possess.—Mary R. Bald

panion.
Simple flown* for Girl*.
Mercerized cotton makes charming
frocks for young girls, and the materi
al looks like a fine and Improved sat
een. Such cotton stuffs are quite in
expensive, and come in nil fashionable
shades. Then, too, a foulard silk gown
is a good investment for a young girl.
Of course the design with which it is
patterned should be appropriately
youthful and dainty. Many of last
year's foulards are now sold at lower
#ost than the weaves this year, and
often they will bo found charming
and dainty for the gown of the grow
| ing girl. The rod frocks—the plain
' red and red and white—are especially
fashionable just now for young girls,
and can be found in almost all the ma
terials that are in vogue this year.
These frocks should be made up in all
red; if possible, but if not, relieved
with white. Black should not be put
on such gowns, but should be left for
the trimming of the gowns of older
women. In these days when thero is
no particular difference in the materi
als worn by young and old, there must
needs be come difference in the trim
ming, otherwise the effect of youth is
lost entirely, and the gown has the ap
pearance of being done over.
Trimmings of pleated chiffon,
gowns of chiffon, and also net gowns,
are in favor, made up with less elab
oration than is shown in the gowns cf
older women. Accordion-pleated
skirts, when they are becoming, are
1 pleasing for slender figures, but they
| must be carefully made and well
M- draped over the hips, and the tucked
skirts or the pleated skirts with the
pleats cut down underneath or sitchrd
through are, as a rule, more becoming
than the accordion-pleated ones.—Har
per's Bazaar.
Jewel* on tlm Forehead.
News comes from Paris to the effect
that the fervoniere is undoubtedly
coming back to favor. Forty years
ago no one would have needed to be
told what a fervoniere was, and many
of the ornaments are in the posesssion
of women lucky enough to have inher
ited jewels.
The old-fashioned fervoniere was a
forehead jewel, usually a large uncut
gem set in heavy gold work. It was
worn in the centre of the forehead
attached to a gold fillet, or more often,
a band of black velvet which passed
around the head.
The ornament was marvellously be
-4 coming to a certain classical type of
fece, but lamentably disfiguring to
♦he ordinary woman. The Empress
Josephine was particularly fond of
the fervonlere, which became her air
though her face was far from classic.
The uncovered foreheads of recent
seasons opened the way for a revival
of this old fashion, and the jewelled
stars and crescents which were worn
low against the forehead with the
parted fringe of hair hinted at the
fervonlere; but now a number of Pa
risian beauties have taken up the old
mode in earnest and have appeared
with splendid jewels gleaming upon
their white foreheads just above their
brow.
The velvet band and fillet have not
appeared, the modern fervonlere be
ing, as nearly as possible, devoid of
visible setting and held in its place
by the finest thread of gold or a string
of small pearls. The fashion is, of
course, extreme, but it has appealed
to-the Parisians' love of novelty and
the French jewelers have innumer
able orders for the new ornament,
while old fervon'eres are being taken
from jewel cases and reset according
to the modern taste. —New York Sun.
Outdoor Sport*.
Games ought to be a part of every
girl's every-day life, and parents and
educators have only in the last few
years sanctioned it. It is only of late
that women have been heard of in con
nection with outdoor sports, though
there have probably always been girls
who were good at games and who had
played them. In golf this is particu
larly noticeable. There are no doubt
numbers of girls playing quietly on
country links who have played for
years and would without doubt gain
many public honors if they competed
for them.
in close touch with golf scientific
croquet may be classed. Scientific cro
quet requires the utmost nicety of
strength and aim and the utmost judg
ment in making plans for victory and
in foreseeing those of the opponent-
To be a good player you must not only
be able to get through very narrow
hoops which do little more than allow
the balls to pass under and through, but
you must be able to maneuver the
balls so that you may be able to make
many hops in succession. Good play
ers after long practice can go the en
tire round at one play. For delicate
girls croquet is an ideal game, as it
keeps them out of doors and does not
call for any appreciable amount of
physical strength as do almost all the
other outdoor games.
Archery is another pastime which is
coming to the fore. It has always
been able to command the enthusiasm
of its own world even when outsiders
thought it a bygone amusement, and
many archery clubs are now being
formed. It is an exercise which does
more to make its devotee beautiful
than almost any other. It makes the
figure straight and supple and the eye
and nerve steady, and since it is al
ways practised in the open air it gives
to lovers of the sport who otherwise
lead sedentary lives the opportunity to
breathe out of doors —something that
no other sport will tempt them to en
joy.
Tennis, as a violent exercise, holds a
fond place in the hearts of the admir
ers of this sport, and it is certainly an
interesting game to the players. It is
scarcely necessary to remark how great
a hold hockey has obtained in the af
fection of girls in the last few years;
as a school game it is unrivaled,
though it is played little outside, for
good hockey grounds are no easy mat
ter to find.
Cricket, basket-ball, bicycling,
swimming, and in winter toboganning
and fancy skating about exhaust the
pastimes to which girls are allowed to
enter. Cricket and basket-ball are
played at a great many of the girls'
schools and colleges and by a few pri
vate club 3, while the other sports are
indulged in whenever and wherever
opportunity presents itself.—American
Queen.
Flowers carefully wired are made
into bow effects for the side and back
of hats.
Nun's veilings with shiny colored
silk borders are among the new mate
rials.
Muslin well covered with velvet flow
ers is predicted as one of the favorite
dress materials.
Tulle which is patterned in the form
of fish scales over a shimmering foun
dation of gold tissue is one of the mil
linery novelties.
Black, white and blue make or.e of
the most fashionable combinations.
Thus, white muslins spotted with black
are trimmed with blue embroidery.
A very stunning parasol is made of
turquoise blue taffeta made to imitate
the effect of the turquoise matrix,
while the handle is ivory decorated
with turquoise.
The latest evening coiffure shows a
sort of puff around the face, broken
by a few little curls at one side and
loose knots arranged low at the nape
of the neck. One large rose is worn
at one side of the front.
One must bo blessed with a fine dis
crimination in these days in order to
choose the latest and most fashionable
tint of white, which is called cham
pagne, or wine white, as you prefer,
and is especially attractive because of
its warm tinge.
Enamelled flower hatpins have come
in for a fresh share of attention now
that flowers dominate the millinery de
partment, and then there are the in
sect pins, with jewelled beetles and
spiders attached to a spring, which
gives them a very realistic appear

A COIN EXPERTS TRIALS
BOTHEREO BY PERSONS WHO THINK
THEY HAVE VALUABLE PIECES.
A Collector in Horn, ?*ot >*atl© You
Miut IlHve a Liking for Nuintftinutica
to r.ecome a Successful Speculator in
tho Gold and Silver Coin isiiHinuss.
"Yes," said tho coin man, "there are
from 20 to 60 people who come in
here every day, some to ask questions
concerning coins they have at home,
some bringing coins with them to sell,
and most of them expecting to realize
something more or less and usua'ly
more. That is the worst of it fot I
don't believe there is one of the lot
who comes in and brings coins who
has not an exaggerated idea of their
worth, and they never go away believ
ing a word I havo told them. They
never do. They always leave with a
feeling that for some reason or an
other I am trying to cheat them and
don't want to give them the full value
of the treasure they have.
"There are two coins that give mo
more trouble than any others and
have caused more correspondence
than probably all the rest put to
gether. These are tho quarters of
1853 and the nickels of 1883. People
have got into their heads that those
two coins are valuable, and it is easier
to get such ideas firmly planted than
to remove them. There are two quar
ters for 1853, the one with the arrow
points on either side of the date and
with the rays back of the eagle on the
reverse. That is the one that is so
often brought to me, but it is a very
common coin and there are any num
ber of them. There is another quar
ter of that same year without the
rays and without the arrow points
which is valuable, but not extremely
so.
"Tho nickel of 1883 is worth no
more than its face value. There were
three different nickels made that year.
The old type was made with the
shield and the two others with heads,
and one had the word "cents" on the
reverse side below the "V," and tho
other had not. It is that one without
tho cents which people have an idea
is valuable. But they are all common,
and they always will be common.
"Another fairy tale in which the
people are interested is told concern
ing the silver dollar of 1878. You may
call that the tail of a coin, indeed, for
the point about that dollar which in
terests the people is to be found in
the eagle. There is a very slight dif
ference in the two coins; in one the
tail of the eagle has seven feathers,
and in the other eight. But both of
those dollars are very common.
"Tho fractional currency in bills,
which people bring in sometimes, is
worth something if the hills aro new
and crisp, especially the earlier ones.
Those with red backs are good, so are
others with the autograph signatures,
and especially the issues with perforat
ed edges, where they were made in a
sheet and torn off as the postage
stamps are.
"Of the people who come in to bring
odds iJfld ends of coins the greater
number are men, though I don't know
but I buy quite as much of women.
Everything has its value and I know
where there is a market for all kinds.
Tho collectors are chiefly men, though
I have known women to collect, but
they have not had tho most valuable
collections. There was one woman in
Chicago who had quite a collection,
though she did not care to put too
much money into it.
"A collector is born anyway. They
can't be made. A man must have a
liking for it, and then if he is willing
to study and spend some money you
have a, good collector. Different people
may collect a few odd things, but they
are not genuine collectors.
"One fine collection that has been
dispersed now was worth $40,090, and
I could put my hand on one or two
men who have collections approaching
that in value, but the greater number
will have coirs worth S2OOO to SSOOO.
These will be most of them United
States coins. Those are the coins that
bring in the best returns, though a
good collector never looks at his col
lection from a strictly commercial
point of view. There may be a few
who collect in that way, but men who
love coins do not.
"A man must not do much in the
way of collecting until he knows what
he is doing. Yes. he has to begin to
collect in a small way, for if he does
not collect he will not study, but wlmn
he begins to study, then he knows
something, and I warrant that in two
years ho will have changed every coin
he has in his collection.
"The copper coins are relatively—
considering their little intrinsic worth
—the most valuable, and the rare cents
are those of the years 1799, 1804, 1793,
1809, and 1811, and in that order.
There were two coins made in 1799,
one stamped regularly with that date
and the other with the nine stamped
over the eight. Both are rare, but the
one stamped clearly with the nine is
the best. The 1793 was the first issue,
but the issue of 1799 seems to have
been soft, and it is more difficult to
find them in a state of good preserva
tion.
"There is a great deal of imitation
of these as in all other valuable coins,
but it is not difficult for any one who
has had experience to detect the
fraud. It is experience and nothing
else that will really count. I am so
familiar with the shape and date of
those two nines that I can tell the
difference as quickly as the ordinary
person will tell Washington from La
fayette. The coins havo been imitated
by elecrrotyping end by altering the
dates, hut it is always possible to de
tect them. I believe experts today
know every operation that lias been
used In marking coins up to date. But
It is necessary always to look out, for
every imitation is done by a different
hand, and there are none of them
alike.
"The highest priced silver coin is
the dollar of 1838. That will bring—
but no—don't say how much that will
bring, or I shall be overrun with per
sons who have 1838 dollars, or think
they have. The 1804 dollar is the
most valuable if one is to be found,
but there is some doubt about such a
coin having been coined. The gold
coins are very interesting, and there
are many rare coins among them. The
half eagles, or $5 gold pieces of 1815
and 1822 are very valuable. Gold
coins wear quickly and depreciate in
value so easily that they are more
difficult to obtain.
"Perhaps it is this reason that the
collection of gold coins seems to be a
particular passion for the collector.
It is quite aside from the intrinsic
value of the gold, the commercial in
terest does not enter into the feeling of
the collector, though he will always
make as good a bargain as possible.
The coins of many collectors will
show many interesting pieces in gold,
and many collectors have the gold dol
lar from the first one in 1849 to the
last 'n ISR9.
"The Octagonal dollars were the
work of private enterprise. They were
started in California, and were so suc
cessful that they were made. I be
lieve, in New York. But they became
so popular as trinkets and bangles,
that they became debased after a
time, and finally so much alloy was
put. into them that the government put
a stop to them. Up to 1873 they are
very good for the collectors."—New
York Times.
A NOVEL OUTINC TOUR.
How it Deliglttfnl Outing BTnr lie Enjoyed
by the Kxpenrilture of Little Money.
■ In the Woman's Homo Companion
Walnut Laceting tells how a delightful
summer vacation may be had in a
novel and agreeable way:
"We determined to travel for the
most part mornings and evenings.
From 8 o'clock to 9 or 10, with a keen
scent for anything quaint or beautiful,
wo glided along the shore-lines or the
peaceful levels of the Inland towns,
for the gratification of our own tastes
if a waterside grove looked specially
alluring. In derailing we first raised
' the car a few inches on four light
jackscrews. On the sill had been fas-
I ened, two on a side, hollow-rimmed
: wheels. The low horses were then
I placed en each side of the car, and
; two nine-font lengths of light old rails
laid on tho horses, fitted with blocks
to hold the rails in gauge. We then
loosened the screws and had our car
mounted to run sidewise. Then plac
ing two more rails, abutting the first
two, and resting at the outside end on
two more horses, we rolled the car
over, stopping it by trigs. Then our
first set of rails and horses could be
removed to clear the track.
"A favorite halting reason was the
nearness of a station to cross-roads,
which usually have something better
in the way of old walls and roadside
shadows, old well-sweeps and quaint
gambrel-roofed cottages than can be
found on the main highways traversed
by the trolley lines. Hebe, who liked
nothing better than a cross-country
stroll, would issue forth with sketch
hook at about 4 o'clock, accompanied
by Dominie and his camera. Nothing
more would be seen of them until 6,
when they would return, in transports
of delight concerning the loveliest long
shadows or cunningest calves and
lambs that ever were seen.
"We must not forget to tell you
that a Paradise such as w'e have de
scribed is one of tho coolest summer
resorts imaginable. By closing the
shutters on the sunny side and droop
ing all tho windows we sat or slept
in agreeable quarters. On wet days
it afforded us perfect dryness and cosy
comfort. The platform at one end was
reserved for the kitchen In wet weatn
er. It was covered in for tho time by
a canvas on one of its sides and the
rear. On fine days we invariably lived
under the trees."
Sultan or Ttirkay'a Gift.
Among Queen Victoria's possessions
was a desk given to her by the Sul
tan of Turkey. It was a mass of com
plicated machinery, and could only be
opened by working the springs proper
ly. Tho sultan confided it to the care
of Sir Clare Ford, who took it with
him to Englnnd, having first received
careful instruction from the Turkish
monarch as to opening it. Arriving at
Windsor Sir Clare Ford thought he
would make sure that he knew his les
son before presenting himself with the
the gift to the queen. To his horror
he found that the secret had escaped
him, and try as he would nothing
could induce the thing to open. After
working on it for nearly a day he sud
denly touched the right spring and it
opened. He hastened with it to tho
queen and explained the method of
the new toy.

In the Country.
It seems to me I'd like to go
Where bells don't ring, nor whistles
blow,
Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs
sound,
And I'd have stillness all around.
Not real stillness, but just the trees'
Low whisperings, or the hum of bees.
Or brooks' faint babbling over Btones
In strangely, softly tangled tones.
Or maybe a cricket or katydid,
Or the songs of birds In the hedges
hid,
Or just some such sweet sounds as
these
To fill a tired heart with ease.
If 'tweren't for sight and sound and
smell,
I'd like a city pretty well;
But when It comes to getting rest,
I like the country lots the best.
Sometimes it seems to me I must
Just quit the city's din and dust,
And get out where the sky is blue;
And say, now, how does it seem to
you?

Stanley's Punishment.
Stanley gazed down at his petticoats
with a grimace of pain. They actually
hurt him. And every single one of the
squares of gay patchwork seemed to
burn down through them to his knees
as if they were red-hot.
"Oh, dear!" groaned Stanley, soft
ly. "I'd rather be starved on bread
and water. That wouldn't be anything
to being a girl! An' making patch
work —oh, my! An' pretty soon now
some one will call out, 'Molly, is your
patchwork done?' "
Poor Stanley blushed with Bhame.
All his little brown freckles swam in
the sea of red.
"Molly" and the petticoats went to
gether. They were Stanley's prison
stripes. It was only when he y.ad
been naughty that he had anything to
do with them. He took up a pink
square and a yellow one and matched
1 them together slowly and clumsily,
j But the needle unthreaded, and while
It was being threaded again the pink
and yellow patches dropped back
| among the purple and red and blue
' ones. Then while Stan —I mean Mol-
I ly—was selecting a new pair of patches
the needles slid quietly off the thread
and hid itself! It was very warm ln-
J doors, but out-of-doors how cool and
| beautiful It was! What a good time
1 the bees and humming-birds were hav
' lng In the red clover! And Glp was
' after another woodchuck!
I "If I were only Stanley again, I
guess I'd be out there like everything!"
ihe whistled wistfully. "O Gippy, go
for him —go!"
I There was no law against his gwing
1 out-of-doors. Sunshine and bees and
j Gip called to him. Nothing kept him
I back but pride—and the petticoats.
I For supposing some one saw him! It
j would be such a dreadful disgrace!
Glp's barks rose shriller and faster.
1 What if the woodchucks were coming
j out! With a sudden gathering up of
petticoats and patchwork, the boy
I darted through the door and out Into
j the sunshine. He could not bear it
I any longer.
I "Little girl!" a strange voice called
I in his ear. Stanley gave one startled
| look, and then the horror of it broke
I upon liitn. Tho little brown freckles
stood out, distinct and single file, on
his white shocked face. To he called
"Little girl!" He scrambled to his feet
and fled to the house as fast as the
terrible skirts would let him. That
I was the end of this form of punish-
I ment. The name and the little ging-
I ham petticoats were put away to
gether.
| "Please lock them up and lose the
i key, mamma," Stanley said, gravely.
"I can bear some things, but I can't
bear them. I'd rather be good al
ways!"—A. 11. D., in Youth's Com

Wondor* of the Doop Ocean.
We are very apt to think of the bot
tom of the sea as hiding sunken ships,
and much treasure, as well as the
strange and weird belongings natural
to the depths. Science digs into the
secrets of the sea and wo are continu
ally learning of its wonders. The
German deep sea expedition on board
the steamship Waldivia has been for
two years exploring some of the great
depths of the Indian and Atlantic
oceans. It has brought some wonder
ful and grotesque animal specimens, ]
and plants, too, to light. They all [
hear a resemblance to those already
known that are found nearer the top
of the water, and the strange shapes
are produced by the enormous press- j
ure of the water. Tho life of the deep
Bea is so constructed by nature that
it may resist the awful weight of the
tons of water. The strongest steel
Ships are not more than pasteboard
boxes, while every man-made thing j
that sinks into tho great depths of the
ocean Is crushed beyond recognition
before It roaches the bottom. Those
animals that swim about so swiftly 111
tho depths we have been rending of
are changed into creeping and clinging i
creatures in the great depths, while
there nre many animals of the porcu
pine variety and a curious collection
of crabs. One specimen of sponge was
found which they named the need'o
sponge; it was of beautiful colors,with
the stem or needle 20 feet long and
very thin; It was found at a depth of !
18.350 feet. It ha„ been decided that :
"sht of these creatures live by chance,
or In other words, by what drifts into
their mouths. Some of them are mora
fortunate in being provided with their
own light; for down where they live
neither light nor heat afreets them.
The largest waves do not cause a
movement in the water, and some of
the fish develop a curious whip-like
projection above their heads, in the
end of which grows a real lantern—a
small ball producing a phosphorescent
light. They have huge mouths, and
as they go swimming slowly about
other fish that have enormously devel
oped eyes are lured right into the cav
ernous mouths of the light bearers, to
be digested at leisure. It sometimes
happens that a deep-sea fish in the
excitement of chasing its prey gets out
of its depth and goes tumbling up

swells rapidly and finally bursts, and
scientists may find its mutilated body
floating on the surface.
A Living or n Life.
W. E. Russell, formerly governor of
Massachusetts, was one of the mo3t
brilliant young men ever honored by
I the leadership of a great Btate. Once
in addressing a body of law graduates,
he gave utterance to an idea which de
serves the largest possible audience.
"Remember, fellows," he said, "that
there is an everlasting difference be*
tween making a living and making l
life."
As a matter of fact we know that al
most anybody can make a living. A
pair of strong arms can wield the
shovel or pickaxe even if there is not
much intelligence back of the strength
A shrewd brain can plan money-mak
ing schemes which will be successful
as such success goes, without any help
from principle. But food and clothing
and shelter, however elaborated on,
are not enough for any human being.
Every man owes it to himself, as well
as to God, to do more than make a liv
ing. • ...
In making a life, the whole man
must go to work. The hands cannot
do it alone, nor the head, nor even th
heart. All the powers must co-oper
ate. All that is best and finest in us
must be given a chance for expression.
And the manhood which puts itself
into making a life, Ss as much highet
than that which expends itself in mak
ing a living, as thought and love a rc
higher than bread and meat or wool
len cloth. The majority of our readers
are still in the preparatory depart
ment of life's school. You are getting
ready to do a certain work by and by.
But what is it that you are fitting
yourselves for? It makes all the dif
ference In the world —all the difference
in the world to come as well as this,
remember —whether you turn your am
bition and your energy toward making
I a living or making a life.—Young Peo

A Cieneral'fl Tomb.
I The most impressive tomb ever de
| signed for any great soldier is that
J which overlooks the Hudson and be
neath which sleeps Ulysses S. Grant.
And that which makes it impressive
beyond all others is that upon the
: porphyry sarcophagus of the world's
j greatest commander no sword is laid;
I no flag is hung over his folded hands,
j no musket is stacked beside his bier."
I It was his hard fortune to be a sm

Annoflotn of Llonionant Taylor.
i Lieut. James D. Taylor, who is cred
i ited with having given Gen. Funston
the information which led to the cap
l ture of Agninaldo, is a graduate of the
' Virginia Military institute. An old
classmate says of Lieut. Taylor: "Had
| he brought off one of those cock fights
I for which he was celebrated while ha
I was a cadet, and advertised it through
' out the Philippines, he would have
caught 'Aggy' long ago. He had a bat
tle every rainy afternoon when there
was no drill, and was never caught up
with. He bought up all the game
cocks in Lexington and Rockbridge,
and had them stored away near Lex
ington, so that he could have his pas
time."

Colonel Henry B. Freeman, late com
mander of the Twenty-fourth infantry,
retired under the age limit, says:
"I am much pleased that Funston has
been made a Brigadier General. He
was in command of the department
in which I served, and he was most
courteous to me In every way never
giving me an order and always send
ing congratulations when anything
was done by the regiment. I consider
him a brave officer and a gentleman."
Porto Rico NccrU Dry Dock.
Necessity for a dry dock in Porto
P.lcan waters is becoming daily more
apparent, and the recent grounding of
the Mayflower emphasises that neces
sity. Fortunately no damage was
done to the vessel by that mishap, but
in order to ascertain that fact it was
necessary to resort to the services of
a diver.
